Toasted Muesli

When choosing a breakfast cereal the best one to look for is one that is high in fibre and low in sugar, however this is easier said than done as many breakfast products on the market may appear healthy and yet actually have more sugar than we expect/need, either in the form of too much added dried fruit or refined sugars for that crunchy texture. One way to get around this is to make your own, as well as giving you the opportunity to personalise your breakfast to your liking. Our toasted muesli recipe is so moreish that you’ll want to have it as an afternoon snack as well, and being jammed packed full of healthy fats curtesy of all the nuts and seeds it would certainly be a great snack option too.

This recipe doesn’t have any quantities as we have found it is best to choose your container first and fit the quantities around that. The hero of this recipe is of course oats, which are not only heart healthy, but full of fibre and protein. Feel free to omit any ingredient you are not keen on, and if you like dried fruit then they can be added once cooled.

Directions

Add the remaining ingredients, minus the coconut, so that when mixed together they are appealing and nearly fill the container (leaving room for some coconut).

4.

Add 3 tablespoons of oil and a tablespoon of honey to a large oven tray and place in a 160 degree oven to warm through.

5.

Tip the muesli ingredients onto the warmed tray and mix with the oil and honey. Place back in the oven for ten minutes.

6.

After ten minutes stir the mixture with a spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom, then place back in the oven. Repeat this two more times or until ingredients begin to look like they are taking on some colour.

7.

Now add the shredded coconut, mix through and place back in the oven for another ten minutes.

8.

Once the coconut has begun to colour pull out the tray, then add the zest of the orange and mix through.
